The Rangers have designated right-hander Nick Goody for assignment and selected infielder Andrew Romine, the team announced.
Goody, whom the Rangers claimed from the Indians last winter, has posted a couple of respectable seasons since he debuted in 2015 with the Yankees. He logged a 3.54 ERA/4.62 FIP with 11.07 K/9 and 4.87 BB/9 over 40 2/3 innings in Cleveland in 2019, for instance, but wasn’t able to keep that momentum going this year in Texas. As a Ranger in 2020, the 29-year-old Goody allowed 12 runs (11 earned) on 14 hits and totaled 13 strikeouts against eight walks over 11 frames.
Romine, 34, signed a minors pact with the Rangers on Sept. 15. The former Angel, Tiger and Mariner has amassed 1,323 major league plate appearances, but he has hit just .235/.291/.301 and hasn’t seen action in the bigs since 2018.

We designated the Goods with a weekend to go in the season? That was a crappy thing to do. I understand he and Chavez are commanding our tank, but you could’ve let them co-exist throughout the weekend, and then parted ways when the mission was complete.
loota.
Oh Goody!

That was the direct quote from Andrew Romine.

What do the Rangers want with 35 year old Romine. Play someone younger get a head start on next season.

what’s the need for Romine with a few games to go with no chance at a playoff spot? why not hold?

Nick Goody´s cousin is a catcher in the Pirates organization. His name is Bill Baddy.

Has to be some younger cat who’d like a wknd on the bench and yet this is who the strangers turn to.

Rangers need to sign Austin Romine this winter.

Many Rangers underperformed this year. Good Bye Chris Woodward. You suck as a manager.
